: Ok, to be fair it was purchased back in the 1970's but even
: accounting for the current value of that 1970's $1, still

: If you read further down the thread then you find estimated values
: in the six figure region - that makes this a $100,000+ watch.

: Personally I'm so happy the 89 year old owner stumbled across some
: honest & helpful people otherwise he could have let it go at
: a few hundred dollars.

: No matter what, its a great read.

: Enjoy - Darren

What an amazing story..I hope he broke the news to the old man gently!
